Dark jazz is a brooding, atmospheric subgenre that fuses traditional jazz elements with noir aesthetics, downtempo rhythms, and ambient or industrial textures. Emerging in the 1990s, it evokes cinematic soundscapes reminiscent of film noir and psychological thrillers, often incorporating slow tempos, minor keys, and haunting instrumentation. The genre creates an immersive, shadowy mood that appeals to listeners drawn to experimental and melancholic soundscapes.
